This website became reality during the summer 2017, when Mirkamil Mijit '19 uploaded all then available items and started working on the zoomable timeline, while David Hale '19 worked on the item metadata side of the project and created many of the exhibits and sub-pages.Another boost for the project came during the week-long ILiADS2017, a digital scholarship workshop in August 2017.

In 2018, Dennis Bolshakov '19 helped with many Cyrillic issues. Tanaka Chingonzo '21 started working with me in 2018 on various aspect including implementing the zoomable timeline during the summer 2018. Currently, he is implementing new sub pages, continues to work on the zoomable timeline, and is correcting typos and updating content.
